Here are a few pictures of the New Zenith Z5 series of pistols built in Turkey by MKE . We will be extensively testing these today and have some feedback in soon . Thus far the pistols look Very Nice they are clean and the package of goodies that come with the gun is awesome.

Here is a real brief video of running the MKE pistols today , with the limited time we had in between downpours the MKE pistols ran great, The heavy rains really killed our range time so we will have more time on Friday to get the pistols dirty and post more details .

Do these have the automatic bolt carrier block silliness?

Does the bolt carrier have the proper tungsten filings?

Think I will be selling my NIB Scorpion to fund one of these.

HK used the tungsten filings to control bolt bounce in the original design. If you can provide info on how that's dealt with on the MKE guns, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Simple question: will the B and T mp5k stock fit the k pistol after SBR'd?

We were trying to run as much ammo through the new MKE pistols as possible to see if we could cause a failure or other , We had a little fun with our Matrix double pistol shot

Damn, I guess it really sucks to work there.

Poor guys.

Yes, there is a blocking bar/plate welded in place.

Man, those MKE guns come with a tons of stuff. My Vector V-94 I bought from you guys came with one HK mag, a manual, and in a cardboard box. Too late after it has been SBR'ed!

It's a semi-auto carrier. The gun won't take a full auto carrier because of the blocking bar so I don't think this matters.

It speaks to the level of small details MKE followed on the HK design for one.

But....there is a reason you use a buffer with weights that move in a semi auto AR...Bolt Bounce...Same reason HK put the filings in the bolt carrier. From a functional standpoint it ensures the bolt and carrier stay in the fully forward postion once the bolt closes and locks.

Translation: Unless you are a SOT, these won't be running with a sear or registered pack.

Not correct.
I've two MKE sear host guns, and they work flawlessly with my registered sear.
You just need to weld in semi shelf prior to removing the carrier block.

I can tell you the one I own, which is an older ATI gun, seems to have a tungsten filled BC. I can't speak to it's function in FA use as I've got a German carrier installed for that. The bolt face also appears to be machined to the Action 3 or F profile.
